lol
I watched the game over, and just in the first quarter and beginning part of the 2nd quarter there were 2 blatant dropped passes
one on a scramble deep ball Quinn let it go through his arms and off his chest.
another hit Smith WIDE OPEN directly in the chest with no one around him within 10-15 yards.
Jennings looked good all day. Even that screen ball early on to Magee was catchable. Not perfect, but very catchable.

Yeah. I think Jennings was better than "decent," especially in the second half.

I noticed how well he moves in the pocket and keeps his eyes down field

It was really 1.5 (maybe 1.75 quarters).

I agree. Wisconsin's line was just as good as LSU's. That was expected by me though. I've always had a great deal of respect for the Wisconsin program and their line. Once LSU put 3 and 4 wideouts out wide, they were able to really pound the ball against Wisconsin. They were getting 10-15 yards a carry. I remember Wisconsin really crowding the line early and they had some injuries, but LSU really was gashing the Wisconsin defense in the 3rd and 4th quarters.

It's a good play that Wisconsin runs well. LSU has a glaring weakness at MLB in my opinion and Wisconsin/Gordon were taking advantage of that.

The real difference in speed and athleticism was LSU's wide receivers and secondary vs. Wisconsin's wide receivers and secondary.

He was able to get it together, but I feel like a lot of it was just flung up there and LSU's vastly superior wide outs just dominated the Wisconsin secondary in getting the ball. It'll be interesting to see how that works against Alabama, Florida, Auburn...

The score was 10-7 at the end of the first quarter. It doesn't really come to my mind when I think of "dominance". Wisconsin scored 1 TD in the second quarter. I'll give you that quarter, but that would be using the word "dominance" loosely. And, the beginning of the third quarter. Really, Wisconsin "dominated" for maybe 1.5 quarters at most.

You're obviously entitled to your opinion, but I guarantee that anyone without a rooting stake in that game would agree that UW dominated the game up until that fake punt.
From CBS sports
"The Badgers dominated the game until the sudden turn of events in the final quarter. Wisconsin held LSU to 16 yards rushing and six first downs in the first half and Melvin Gordon opened the second half with a 63-yard run to set up Clement's 2-yard TD run with 12:24 remaining."
LINK
From Nola.com
"Jennings played the first seven series for the Tigers, who had trouble moving the ball consistently. Wisconsin dominated both lines of scrimmage and outrushed the Tigers 173-17."
LINK
From Sporting News
"Wisconsin dominated LSU for two-and-half quarters. The Badgers rolled up more than 250 rushing yards to that point and had a 24-7 lead with 12:55 left in the third quarter. "
LINK
I could go on. But obviously in the end it means nothing other than making it fun for me to watch and a damn good time at the bar.

First off, congrats, you guys made the plays down the stretch to win that game. We had a signature win right there for us and it came apart.
Random stream of consciousness thoughts based on what I saw and what was discussed on this board prior to kick.
- UW dominated that game for 2.5 quarters. Turning points were the fake punt (great call), the injuries to Zagzebski and Herring on the brand new D line, the injury to Gordon effectively taking him out of the game, and not having Stave available due to injury when McEvoy showed he was embarrassingly bad in the pass game. LSU took advantage of those D line losses and really made some nice plays.
- Gordon is the real deal...8.75 YPC average and 140 for the game on only 16 carries. It's clear how important he is to our squad.
- May be time to pump the brakes on Fournette until he shows a little something at this level. Hilliard is the clear #1 and had a great game.
- Dural is the real deal. He was a huge difference maker for you guys. Home run threat.
- The UW O line was fantastic. Any talk of LSUs being vastly better should be settled.
- I think we ran 2 or 3 jet sweeps, and one went the distance. Everyone knows it's coming and it's still hard to stop.
- I didn't notice a vast "speed" difference despite being told by some it would be substantial
- Your QB seemed decent, but that would be a position of concern for me as an LSU fan (as was mentioned by some here last week)
All in all, I don't think UW is as good as we saw in the beginning of the game or as bad as we saw at the end of the game. I'd probably say the same for LSU. I do know that I'll be watching the rest of the season for you guys closely. Good luck the rest of the way.
Edit to add: I predicted 31-24 LSU, so I was pretty damn close there.
I was impressed with the showing by UW fans. I predicted about 15,000 there...seemed like there were more.

I thought the same thing so I just didn't reply to the thread. At least he had the balls to come back here and discuss the game.

I've always liked your team & Camp Randle has quite the rep as a wild place to play, but when 2 buckeyes came on here to diss your team, I will remain in your corner from here on out. We've played them twice, once in that unfinished stadium they call a horseshoe & then in TS. Didn't like their fans in either place. Your fans give me the impression they can hang with us when it comes time to down a few cold ones. and that always gets our respect. But, as I understand it, as this is a neutral field game, both teams will be getting the same number of tickets, so LSU will have plenty of fans in the stands. Am I wrong? And thank you for giving the SEC Fat Bert to kick around for at least another losing yr !

There are a few things I don't agree with but for the most part, he's on point.
Posted on 9/3/14 at 10:42 am to Chucktown_Badger
I just see a good amount of excuses in your posts. Wisconsin had more total yards in the first quarter, but were only up 3. That's not dominance. I don't care what CBS says. It's not dominance. The second quarter? I agree with you. That's when the wheels fell off for LSU. The beginning of the 3rd? Yep. Wisconsin looked like it was pulling away. After that, LSU started taking control.
Injuries? Part of the game, just like suspensions. Those are a wash to me.
Again, Wisconsin didn't really take control of the game until the second quarter, and LSU took the game away from them midway through the 3rd.

For the first 32 minutes. Quit blaming Gordon's lack of carries for your running game disappearing after that. Your other backs had over 100 yards in the 1st half and only 25 in the 2nd.

Not our fault your dline has zero depth. Once that presnap movement shite yall were doing in the first half ceased, the gates started opening.

Talk to your WRs, then get back to me

Threw for a career high against what was supposed to be the "strength" of the your defense.

I'm glad you came back. I was generally disappointed in the lack of good Badger trash talk leading up to the game.
Y'all were a lot better than we thought. i think you could see the speed difference in the WR/DB match ups on both sides.
Gordon is legit. There is no denying that. big game for him.

Thanks.
As for the neutral site games, the closer team gets more tickets.
"The school secured 34,000 seats to sell for the game in Houston, the school’s largest out-of-state alumni base. LSU originally received just 25,000 seats. Wisconsin received 10,000 seats to sell."
Obviously LSU secured a ton more. I would anticipate a similar distribution breakout for the game at Lambeau.

I believe Wisconsin could have gotten more than 10k but they would be on hte hook for selling them. I'm not totally sure but I think that's how it works.
